I like to think that Peter Jackson produced that Wear Sunscreen song even though I know it’s wrong and I’m sort of in the ballpark but not sure why.

That’s a bummer. I loved that episode & I remember thinking it was weird that he never showed up again.

Oh that’s why I couldn’t remember him from Buffy. I’ve watched the whole thing multiple times but I’m always compelled to look away during Riley scenes.

I didn’t know that about Gina Carano. An actor using their platform to spout right-wing nonsense always kind of sucks, but when it’s someone whose mediocre acting already kind of ruins the show for you it really adds insult to injury.

I saw an interview where he casually remarked that he didn’t think he was very good as the Weekend Update anchor. I disagreed but was kind of impressed that he could be cheerfully detached about it like that.

So they hired her under false pretenses to appear in what, unbeknownst to her, was a major studio film, but she was still stuck with the salary she agreed to under the false pretenses. That’s really sketchy. Does SAG have any rules about this sort of thing?

I didn’t get all the love for Okja. It felt like he was trying to make something more heartwarming but his heart wasn’t in it.

Kevin Costner makes a cameo as Chuck’s corpse.

Sure.

The premise should be that they’re gathering for Chuck’s funeral and they all deliver extremely detailed eulogies. Also he died of Covid.

I wasn't until now. 

After seeing about a thousand people express this same opinion about Terriers, I finally watched it and then had to question the wisdom of getting hooked on a show I know of mainly from cancelled-too-soon lists.

Anand Ghiridharadas is a great read on why philanthropy is not only a drop in the bucket, it provides cover for rich people who often then turn around and use their economic power to support politicians and policies that make them richer at the expense of the rest of society.

I like the caption because it’s not quite clear from the cartoon what the joke is and the caption does absolutely nothing to help, which is funny.

the film is so involving on a dramatic level that it arguably doesn’t even require the political backdrop

Or he’s about to die on the way back to his home planet.

Silicon Valley is basically one long easter egg so not only do I never skip it, I sometimes pause to see what’s changed since the last version.

I first got into Marc Maron during his Air America days, when he lived in Queens and adopted a couple of stray kittens he found in a trash can. One of the now very old cats died in the past year, and when I read in one of his show updates that the other was on her way out, I felt so bad that I cried. This... this is…

Sometimes I land on an old story and am shocked at how many comments there are, and then I realize it’s because it’s pre-Kinja. What a fuck up. 

Yes but then she framed Amanda Knox.
